Vobile Group Limited, a digital content protection and transaction services company, has introduced copyright management services for the growing generative AI ecosystem. The new technology aims to protect intellectual property rights in the $3 trillion media and entertainment industry, which is being disrupted by the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence. According to Vobile's Chairman and CEO Yangbin Wang, the increase in creative content generated by generative AI brings both opportunities and challenges, including the need for effective copyright protection to ensure creators are fairly compensated. Vobile's solution facilitates innovative revenue-sharing models while safeguarding creators' rights, and is being showcased at CES 2025 with demonstrations of its seamless watermarking software capabilities running on NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud.

The court found that the phrase, which allows candidates to use photographs or images of themselves, can be misinterpreted and exploited by using artificial intelligence (AI) to create manipulated photos. This could lead to false information being spread to voters, undermining their ability to make informed decisions. As a result, the court has struck down the provision, citing concerns that excessive image manipulation through AI can damage democracy.

The lawsuits, filed by authors, news outlets, visual artists, musicians, and other creators, claim that the companies have profited from their content without giving them credit or fair payment.

The office addressed four key issues, including whether AI models can be anonymous, the legitimacy of relying on a "legitimate interest" legal basis for processing personal data in AI contexts, and how individuals' reasonable expectations are considered when their data is processed in AI models. Additionally, it clarified that unlawful processing during an AI model's development phase does not necessarily affect its lawfulness once operational.

https://www.livemint.com/industry/retail/government-rolls-out-new-consumer-protection-ai-tools-11735042187511.htmlThe integration of generative AI into corporate law firms presents both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, AI can automate routine tasks such as research, document review, and drafting, leading to significant reductions in time and costs. For instance, AI tools can sift through thousands of documents in seconds to identify relevant information, a task that would take human lawyers days or even weeks. This automation can also enable firms to provide more efficient services to clients, including virtual legal assistants powered by AI that can provide preliminary advice and guide clients through basic legal processes without needing a lawyer's intervention. However, the use of generative AI in corporate law firms raises several concerns, including ethical questions about accountability and reliability. If an AI system produces inaccurate or misleading information, determining who is responsible becomes challenging. Confidentiality is another major concern, as law firms handle sensitive client data, and integrating AI tools must not compromise this fundamental aspect of legal practice. To navigate these challenges and harness the potential of generative AI, corporate law firms must adopt proactive and forward-thinking strategies. This includes implementing rigorous review processes to ensure that AI-generated content meets legal standards and client expectations, positioning AI as a tool to support and enhance human expertise rather than replace it, and providing training for lawyers and staff on the ethical implications of using AI. Firms should also invest in continuous education and training programs for legal professionals to adapt to technological advancements, focusing on data analytics, AI literacy, and interdisciplinary knowledge. Redefining roles within firms can create opportunities for new positions, such as legal technologists who bridge the gap between technology and legal practice. Ultimately, the future of corporate law firms will depend on a thoughtful blend of human expertise and technological innovation. Firms that proactively adapt through ethical AI adoption, workforce development, and regulatory compliance will not only survive but thrive in an increasingly tech-driven world.
https://www.brecorder.com/news/40339240/ai-revolution-in-corporate-lawCleary Gottlieb attorneys Daniel Ilan, Megan Medeiros, and Melissa Faragasso note that businesses need new governance in cybersecurity and privacy as they increasingly use artificial intelligence (AI). Regulators are expecting executives to proactively address the bespoke risks associated with AI development and deployment. This is particularly relevant for companies like Rite Aid, which was banned from using AI facial recognition by the Federal Trade Commission after misuse. To mitigate these risks, leadership must evaluate responsible and safe strategies for AI use, such as implementing effective governance structures and ensuring transparency in AI decision-making processes.
